  1. 3. one of the two main data categories in GIS. This data is made up of individual items with discrete values.
  2. 6. one of the two main data categories in GIS. This data is made up of a collage of “cells” to represent data.
  3. 9. Wightman’s GIS Analyst, likely to be found in the garden during summer months.
  4. 11. Type of view in ArcGIS Pro where you create deliverables for your project.
  5. 12. Information associated with an individual feature. This information is stored in a spreadsheet and is connected to the associated feature class.
  6. 13. One of Wightman’s GIS Technicians, ask this one about pigeons and thrifting.
  7. 14. The biggest name in GIS, Wightman is a partner company with this organization responsible for the ArcGIS suite of products.
  8. 16. Common storage file type that stores location, attribute, and shape of features for ONE layer.
  9. 19. Each individual unit of data in GIS. Each above ground marker, pipe segment, or parcel would be examples of this.
  10. 21. A map layer that operates in the background of your data like what you would see in Google maps. Updates automatically to your location as you pan around your screen.
  11. 23. A logic statement used to display features based on specified attributes in GIS.
  12. 25. The practice of creating representations of a map’s data using small pictures, colors, and shapes, among other things.
  13. 26. One of the three types of vector data in GIS representing a single feature that doesn’t have length or area in GIS.
  14. 27. Information pertaining to the origination and authoring of GIS data that contains information about it (such as how it was collected, formatting, use, etc).

  1. 1. Items that make up the contents or focus of a map.

  3. 4. Type of view in ArcGIS Pro where you edit data in your project.
  4. 5. A collection of geographic datasets of various types. Each dataset is compromised of feature classes, raster datasets, and tables to organize and display the data
  5. 7. Operational data layer stored in ArcGIS Online. This data layer allows for the creation and editing of features in GIS. Allows for storing photos or file attachments.
  6. 8. ArcGIS Online, abbreviated.
  7. 10. Wightman’s GIS Practice Area Leader, likely to be found on the links if it’s nice enough.
  8. 11. One of the three types of vector data in GIS representing a single feature that has length but does NOT have area.

  10. 17. The file extension for a project created and edited in ArcGIS Pro.
  11. 18. Feature ____: Collection of related feature classes that share a common coordinate system. These are used to integrate related feature classes spatially or thematically.
  12. 20. The “S” in GIS.
  13. 22. One of the three types of vector data in GIS representing a single feature that contains a full area measurement.
  14. 24. A box on a map used to show what the symbols on the map correspond to.
